Time to import. I want to buy that iPod back ;)
Totally sucks to be fair, I really don't understand why they don't release it around the world. Such good value in comparison to the iPods.
Importing seems a viable option but I'm not sure, pricing is okay: http://www.zunethings.co.uk/zune-hd-c-45.html
That's stupid :/ There's alot of potential for it over here... The US market is dominated by iPods if memory serves well, and loads of people want them in Europe. Seems like a waste only having it US only.
It's coming to everywhere else just not September 18th.Quote:

If the operating system on the Zune is WinCE based, then why do people not like Windows Mobile? Especially 6.5? The interface is even similar to the Zune's.
If Microsoft don't release it over here, then they are idiots. Apple will dominate.
I finally agree with you on something =]Quote:

WinMo 6.5 will change a few peoples minds though, it's not been released yet but it looks a lot more 'Fun' and innovative user interface, like the iPhones, Androids, Palm Pres, Blackberry Storms etc :P

It's a beauty :)
From a designer, it still doesn't have the edge over iPhones.Quote:

It's already been released. I flashed it onto my HTC Vogue a month ago. It's brilliant.Quote:

There's the same main text scrolling navigation for the main page. You don't see the Windows CE shell in Windows Mobile either.
no, they said at this time they want to see the market in the US and if its good it will be moved onto the other parts of the world.
